INTRODUCTION REVISITED.

The Minutiae-of-Life is that vast array of cells, microbes, micro-organisms, bacteria, etc. that comprises the Life-Function of the living human. Pains and troubles are due to local imbalances that occur in the minutiae, the life-function. Symptoms are external descriptors of those pains and troubles. Internal faint matter is part of the imbalances. Internal moving removes the faint matter which restores local life-function balance thereby ridding the pains and troubles resulting in behavioral well-being without generating new imbalances and pains and troubles elsewhere in the body.

Pathways, "Be there..", Marshaling

The following terminology is a deliberate pull-away from ingrained scientific-medical- psychiatric-religious-meditation nomenclature that has helped conceal the pain and trouble relieving characteristic of the internal moving/faint matter interaction.

Input/Output Pathways, for our purpose here.

"I" (a.k.a. the sense-of-I) am the inside-end of six input and three output pathways the other-ends of which connect me with the environment (immediate surroundings) outside my body. Input; seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, ingesting. Output; talking, moving, eliminating. These nine pathways are distinct and separate, cannot interchange roles, connect outside my body with photons, air, particles, ponderable stuff and mostly are well known and charted. They generally dominate me. Acupuncture meridians, chakras and auric fields are well charted.

Also "I" am the inside-end of four input and one output pathways the other-ends of which connect me with the environment (living meat, living organisms, fluids, particles) inside my body. Input; internal seeing, internal touching, (and sometimes internal tasting, internal smelling). Output; Internal moving. These five pathways are distinct and separate, cannot interchange roles, connect inside my body with quasi-photons(?), faint matter interpenetrating the living meat, arising from imbalance in the minutiae-of-life comprising me and living organisms to which I am host (as our primary concern) and mostly are unknown and uncharted -- existing only in living human beings and not in cadavers. They become active under the special circumstance of damage, infection, imbalance, hereditary influence, trouble to my body by which is created the faint matter. Generally I am confused about or ignorant of these pathways. They lie just beneath my veil of unawareness (picturesque for my being scattered (below) and generally unknowingly responsive to my internal touching). Internal ingesting is held in abeyance. Removing faint matter is an internal eliminating.

Circulatory Pathways, for our purpose here.

Many circulatory pathways are within me; retention, recall, selection, re-association, comparison, assigning like/dislike -- several being involved in establishing feeling, initiating, inhibiting, etc.

Manipulations within these circulatory pathways include imagining, visualizing, pretending, suggestion, living-a-metaphor, as some pertaining to our purpose. These are not input/output pathways to or from me, they are nearly incessant loopings within me. If I imagine I lift my foot, the foot does not come up. If I imagine I push faint matter, the faint matter does not move.

In all the pathways both my-end and the other-end respond only to specific patterns of matter. I do not see in pitch-black or hear in a vacuum. Whatever I do to lift my foot does not come out as song. Touching is requisite for moving against resistance, both externally and internally. If I do not touch the pile of sand on the table, or blob of faint matter inside, I cannot move it.

"Be at the region..." "Now push ..."

"Be at the region..." is the pragmatic (found useful in the field -- real situation) phrase instantly understood; the person "is there" and knows it. This clearly and cleanly anchors the now-unmasked two internal-pathways, internal-seeing and internal-touching. Simple language sidesteps confusing, stilted, indecisive, slippery phrases such as "pretend you are seeing..", "visualize the pain..", "put your attention on..", "now concentrate on..", "as if it were a...", etc. "Be there" is internal touching--contact with--faint matter without which internal moving cannot arise.

"Now push ...", and the other internal movings also are pragmatic, instantly understood. Response to the instruction is very literal.

"I"-end responds to the simple mechanical verbs which sidestep the confusing, vague, unrealistic phrases such as "let the light shine..", "imagine your hand stroking..", "visualize what a perfectly well kidney (whatever) looks like..", "call upon the.." and others. Mis-applied technicaleze confuses and hobbles the troubled person's internal detection and action.   

Marshaling.

Marshaling is getting activities in both our familiar external and newfound internal input/output pathways and our internal circulatory pathways to settle down somewhat more than usual on the same endeavor for at least a while. 

Marshaling starts with 7 Requisites, with "no" to any one stopping you cold--plus 1. You must have...1 interest in the topic, 2 a pain or trouble present, 3 want to be rid of it, 4 can follow, 5 will follow, 6 will not alter and 7 will do the simple instruction. Then later plus 1, (#8), persevere. The deliberate start of....

Internal Marshaling is the not moving, not talking and eyes closed in all the instructions. As you carefully follow the instruction you may notice there still can be a dispersal or a....

Scattering. You are flitting about, thither and yon, this subject, that subject, now at the region, now not, then back, not settling down, slipping off the region, different subject, due to activity in all other input/output pathways and the din of circulatory pathways (below). You are back but now...

Wavering. You stay on this subject, are at the region, mostly, but the internal moving is now definite, now rather weak, diluted somehow, vacillating in intensity, waxing, waning.

Scattering and/or wavering are circulatory pathways jitter keeping internal moving on the brink of breaking down, until intracirculatory pathway marshaling arises as...   

Urgency which can be brought on by the situation (pain, tummy ache, bashed thumb, finally will kick the habit, common cold), by deliberate arousal (stop NOW, close your eyes, stand still, don't talk, be at the region), by sudden increased interest (when you find planing continues after you stop imagining a hand doing it, or this thing really is easing your pain), by danger, by regret. Whichever of the five ways, urgency invigorates internal marshaling of the body-functions reflected in behavior, suppresses the jitter in the circulatory pathway manipulations and directs into the output pathway of internal moving the body-as-a-whole influence upon the local faint matter.

That last is tantamount to the corporate CEO's settling influence as he arrives upon the scene in the shop where a local problem is hampering production. By himself he cannot fix the variety of special problems in each department, but because of his direct on-the-spot influence everyone in the local shop cooperates and coordinates the activities required to make the local fix.  

Marshaling of the Body-Functions occurs, once urgency takes over, intensifying the internal moving and reflecting in your behavior. Along with the now familiar eyes closed, talking stopped and not moving, the breathing adjusts, heart-rate adjusts, acuity increases, distractions fall away, exertion increases, facial expressions change, body-movement and eye-movement follow the internal moving. Your in-the-head

Circulatory Pathway Manipulations are Suppressed.

These consist of imagining, visualizing, pretending, suggestion, calling-upon, hypnosis, living a metaphor and the like. They are not input/output pathways of internal touching, internal seeing and internal moving. They are the antithesis of the instruction deflecting, masking, confusing these internal pathways. Once body-function marshaling begins, circulatory manipulations cannot take hold.

Some procedures in a quagmire of terms, theories, dogmas and localized personal experiences, strive first to control one or more of these body-functions or circulatory pathway manipulations. Despite the confusion, limited internal moving sometimes is evoked then is attributed to that emphasized body-function, manipulation or personal experience. So once more the underlying principle relating trouble and faint matter and their annihilation by internal moving remains undiscovered.     

The Eye-Movement Paper.

In mid-1995, a very observant and open-minded lady psychiatrist interviewed on TV said she discovered that while a patient was moving her eyes side-to-side her emotional upheaval subsided dramatically. So when the psychiatrist got other patients' emotional distress high, she told them to move their eyes side-to-side. (Would you have believed this?) And it worked. She published a paper. 7000 psychiatrists nationwide now do this thing. None know why it works and there is reluctance to talk about it since it is so simple. They discourage anyone doing this on their own saying they are the only ones who can handle the worked up distress. Not so;  handling that type distress is almost trivial when you know what is happening. And the health care costs?

Here an observant person stumbled onto (a.k.a. discovered) something through observation, empirically not theoretically, and in her limited experience made the only available assumption; the eye-movement was responsible for making the change. She used her findings on patients and published (pragmatic). The author empirically pragmatically discovered (a.k.a. stumbled onto) and in 1979 disclosed recognition of, and how to trigger, the mechanism underlying this incident, the topic of this manual.

In the original instance above the patient had unwittingly and naturally, and completely unbeknownst to the psychiatrist, started and was executing the side-to-side internal moving on the faint matter (probably in the head as the easiest site for entraining but also it could be neck or chest) accompanying her now-evident distress, which the side-to-side eye-following was helping to intensify (see Marshaling of the Body-Functions above). Had the eye-movement been up-and-down, it would have been entrained on up-and-down internal moving on faint matter associated with the emotional upheaval, and the peer-approved paper in the prestigious journal would have been "up-and-down" instead of "side-to-side". (Will any psychiatrist et al believe this?)  The cart before the horse, without even knowing there is a horse. These are two of the twelve orthogonal planing directions (see Planing & Pushing Directions).

This illustrates the mirroring of external behavior (eye-movement) and action in the internal life-function (internal moving) through marshaling. The move-your-eyes-side-to-side instruction to a new person with an already detectable faint matter region reflecting as their symptom, illustrates the last paragraph of Circulatory Pathway Manipulation above. Notice too the patient's eyes were at least partially open as she moved them side-to-side while planing unprompted. Side-to-side (s-t-s) is the most natural unprompted internal moving, easy for eye-following, which in turn is easiest for an on-looker to see. Try eye-following front-to-back internal moving.

The lady psychiatrist in this incident would be an ideal researcher in the IMHealing Foundation to come because of her observant open mind, and courage to face issues not in curriculum or contemporary theory.

You have heard the expression--"she was so anguished her head and eyes were rolling side to side".  Unprompted, urgency s-t-s with body-/eye-following.
